"Dr. Hayes Reports Triplets Doing Fine" was a headline in the January 20, 1941's edition of the Guymon Daily Herald, then named The Panhandle Herald.
The Wells triplets - Ronald, Donald and Arnold - were born in Guymon on January 15, 1941, delivered by Dr. R. B. Hayes.
The babies were taken to Mrs. Jones Nursing Home to be cared for and kept safely quarantined from the general public for health reasons. With the exception of the grandparents and Mrs. Wells' sisters, whom Dr. Hayes reluctantly allowed, even family was turned away for visitation.
